She Is Human

 

Blood-bathed warrior,

priestess and healer,

she was the fury

the calm and pity.

Heartbeat to deafen thunder,

yet drown beneath whispers,

she swept across worlds

tripped upon the same rock

hurtled through lifetimes

never wanted to die,

scrambled for maturity

defied to grow up.

Saw all on her axis,

chose blindness to the past.

Threw shields before enemies,

opened her heart,

refused to begrudge

forgot not her pride.
